Pick a pair of headphones that suits your needs by considering how you want to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are three <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Best-Sellers-Over-Ear-Headphones\/zgbs\/electronics\/12097479011\" target=\"_blank\">types<\/a> of headphones; over-ear, <a href=\"https:\/\/audiolgy.com\/which-is-better-earbuds-or-headphones\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"14961\">in-ear<\/a>, and on-ear. Over-ear headphones can be the ideal choice if you want to use them primarily for music listening at home. In-ear headphones can be a better option if you need something more <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.njit.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=2590&amp;context=dissertations\" target=\"_blank\">portable<\/a> while on the go.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider opting for wireless headphones, which are portable and easy to set up. There&rsquo;s no wire to get in the way of classic listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Plug_in_Your_Headphones\"><\/span>Step&nbsp;2:&nbsp;Plug&nbsp;in&nbsp;Your&nbsp;Headphones.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&rsquo;ve chosen your headphones, connect them to an audio source. This could be a laptop, a smartphone, or another <a href=\"https:\/\/audiolgy.com\/connecting-bluetooth-headphones-to-oculus-quest-2\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"483\">device<\/a>. Different gadgets have different ways to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For instance, you may typically use a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/how-to\/what-is-usb-c-an-explainer\" target=\"_blank\">USB<\/a> port or a 3.5mm headphone connector to connect your headphones to a computer. Simply insert your headphones into the computer&rsquo;s headphone port if they have a 3.5mm connector. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the kind of headphones you have, you might require an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-bluetooth-headphone-adapter\/\" target=\"_blank\">adaptor<\/a> to connect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Modify_the_Audio_Settings\"><\/span>Step 3: Modify the Audio Settings <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Change the audio settings to play audio on headphones rather than the device&rsquo;s speakers.
